Trotter Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Well done Striker ! Big race in France on Sunday - the group 1 Jean Prat This used to be the race where the 3yo Guineas horses from England, Ireland & France would face off before they all moved into the all aged group mile races But from last year they reduced it to 7 furlongs and moved from Longchamp to Deauville so I'm not sure what it is for now Anyway Pinatubo is running so that adds a bit of interest !

Trotter Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Pinatubo looks like he might just be falling short as a 3 year old ...... one of the commentators when he last ran said he hadn't grown much since last year and could be that he peaked at two relative to his age group There's a couple of others of interest Alson was pretty good at 2 - won a group one race at the back end of the season over todays trip of 7 furlongs. Made his seasonal debut in the French 2000 Gns and finished 3rd, under 2 lengths behind Victor Ludorum. With that run under his belt he could be ready to strike again at the top level There's also Molatham who won the Jersey at Royal Ascot. I expect that now the Jean Prat has been reduced to 7 furlongs we'll gradually see the Jersey as the natural stepping stone for the later developing types who miss the Guineas and Guineas Trials. Roger Varian's runner has won all 3 times he's run at 7 furlongs. I'm just convinced about this year's Jersey ..... you had one of O'Brien's lesser light finishing 2nd then 40/1 and 33/1 shots finishing 3rd and 4th. So I'm not convinced it was a good renewal I'll stick with Alson and with Pinatubo well odds on everything else in the race is an EW price! 3.25 Deauville - Alson - EW at 12/1 Corals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 That was a good run in 7th with all the "right" horses around him, as got strangled by Doyle early and then got switched to the far side which may not have been ideal He is going to win one of these big handicaps and I know his "target" race is the Balmoral at Ascot on Champions day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calva decoy Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Lots of UK & Irish raiders at Deauville today on the heavy ground which won't suit most one that it will in the 135 is the Queen's horse TACTICAL 2/1 , won on soft last time out so shouldn't have any problems with the going. 325 ASHRUN 14/1 bet365 ew 2nd Was beaten 1.75L here lto when not getting the rub of the green , doing all best work at the business end & gets 5Lb pull with Get Shirty 7/1 & looking at the prices this Germany l raider for me is overpriced , fancy to get placed again at double figure odds .

Striker Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Has been entered for the Balmoral [17th October] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Looking like Orbaan is set to run on Saturday..again at Ascot and with Spencer aboard But it will be over the shorter distance of 7f, and for me it’s another sighter for the big mile handicap later. Will though decide if declared tomorrow whether to play ante post on the Balmoral (currently 25-1) in case I’m wrong and an eye catching big run is on the cards at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Is declared tomorrow [3.05] Should run with credit...currently 14-1 [5 places] So bearing the above in mind have also took the 25-1 [5 places] for the Balmoral with Paddy Power yossa6133 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 By the way would not advice any more ante-post interest now till we know the draw As it’s so important at Ascot in a big field on the straight course to have a high draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Good news for those of us with 25-1 AP Tickets is that Orbaan has been declared for Saturday and has a high draw [20/23]. Spencer is not riding the horse, instead its stable jockey Danny Tudhope who has won the race before. Sparky Bear and yossa6133 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Horse might as well not have turned up as draw proved to not be an advantage as did being a hold up horse on a track which favored prominent racers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
